2.5D Elastic Wave Field Simulation MATLAB Program

The 2.5D Elastic Wave Field Simulation MATLAB Program serves as a highly valuable computational tool for modeling elastic wave propagation phenomena. This program implements dynamic simulation of wavefield propagation slices through numerical solution of elastic wave equations, typically utilizing finite-difference or spectral element methods. Users can configure various simulation parameters including model dimensions, medium density, wave velocity profiles, and boundary conditions through modular input functions. The core algorithm handles wave propagation and reflection mechanisms by solving coupled partial differential equations for P-waves and S-waves, with visualization routines enabling real-time observation of waveform dynamics. Key functions include wavefront tracking, impedance calculation for reflection analysis, and snapshot generation for time-domain visualization. This makes the program particularly suitable for both academic research and engineering applications such as seismic exploration, geotechnical engineering, and petroleum reservoir characterization, providing insights into complex wave propagation behaviors through interactive parameter studies and waveform analysis capabilities.
